Not pointless. I used to wonder why MAXIMUS never got excited when I came home, or wanted to play, etc. He was just beside himself when anybody else came in. I finally figured out, that he doesn't think of me as separate from him. Or I was just part of him....Does that make any sense? He has had me since he was six weeks old. I'm the one he needs if he's hurt, doesn't feel good, or is hungry. I was gone for a few days, a while back. And Kevin and Pressley couldn't get him eat. I guess he missed me.
